- Description
- The U.S. Army Contracting Command, Joint Munitions & Lethality Contracting Center,Picatinny Arsenal, NJ 07806-5000 anticipates issuing a Sole Sourcerequirement for the production of the M795 Shock Attenuating Lifting Plugs. It is anticipated that the procurement shall be issued to J&M Machine Products, Inc., MI. The requirement is anticipated to be issued using 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) FAR 6.302-1(2), Only One Responsible Source. The anticipated contract will be for a firm fixed price effort for 60,000 each M795 Shock Attenuating Lifting Plugs with delivery of March 2011. The 155mm, HE, M795 Projectile is comprised of three components: the Shell Body, the Wooden Pallet, and the Shock Attenuating Lifting Plug. The Shock Attenuating Lifting Plug is installed for transportation and handling purposes in the 155mm, HE, M795. Before firing, the plug is removed and a detonating fuse is installed in the nose of the projectile. The lifting plug acts as a shock absorber in the critical nose area of the projectile where high stress may occur. The plug has the design capability of bending under low stresses and breaking if the stresses become too high. Under high stress, the lifting plug will shear in a way that will prevent the fuse from being installed. The Shock Attenuating Lifting Plug renders the projectile safe and unusable if it is inadvertently subjected to a drop on its nose that exceeds design limits. The Lifting Plug is made from malleable iron casting (i.e. ASTM A47 or ASTM A602), with a 2.000-12 UNS thread, a flange diameter of approximately 3.80 inches and an outer loop diameter of approximately 1.80 inches. Funds are available for this acquisition. The Government anticipates that the Request for Proposal, which will address a requirement to produce the M795 Shock Attenuating Lifting Plug, will be released within 15 days of the release of this synopsis. Point of contact for this requirement is Jennifer Hughes, CCJM-CA bldg. 9, Picatinny Arsenal, NJ 07806-5000. Email: jennifer.hughes14@us.army.mil
